Sheriff’s detectives have arrested a 21-year-old unemployed man in a string of rapes and break-ins that have unnerved neighbors in a four-square-block area of Norwalk for the last six months.
Ross lives nearby and generally fits the description given by victims and other witnesses, Sgt. Matthew McDannel said. Ross was spotted by a patrol car as he peered through a fence into a resident’s yard on Seaforth Avenue in one of the areas hardest hit by the attacker.
The rapist, whose victims include a 10-year-old girl, has worn some type of mask and has carried a gun. Officers said Ross had neither when arrested.
